If you`ve been immunized against measles, mumps, and rubella (its law for schools here) are you definitely safe from catching it again for sure? they say if you`ve had varicella (chicken pox) you`re immune from there on out, but i`ve known people to get chicken pox twice. Someone who my baby`s father currently lives with works in a day care and may have been exposed to measles recently, I`ve been vaccinated but I wonder if i should stay away anyways... i dont wanna stay away from my bf but if i have to for safety, i will...what do you think?

Also most countries do make exceptions based on religious views ans some social views for vaccinating children. So check in to it. Here in the US a school can ask for your shot records but your doctor can write a statement for you declaring you did not have to havr the vaccine administered.

When I got pregnant this time, the dr had a blood test for the immunity to chicken pox, and it came out negative, so I can get it again :( Better safe than sorry!
